Hey there Expo TV it's Connor again. This time I have a review of the Xbox 360 from Microsoft. The Xbox returns with more excellent online play and incredible action games. It comes with the console the wireless controller and this headset for talking to friends online; as well as a free month of Xbox Live Gold an Ethernet cable component cables all the power cables you need. When I bought it they were also giving away two free games: Forza Motorsport 2 and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Forza's great; Marvel is not. You might play Marvel once but only if you want achievement points for no reason. It's kind of silly so I didn't play it. So when you boot up your 360 you have these options: it's system media games Xbox Live and Marketplace. Marketplace you can go when you're hooked up to Live you can buy things like games Xbox Live arcade games old Xbox games and themes (which are pretty ugly most of the time you don't really want to buy those) picture packs your picture gear. When I put in a game let's put a game it takes a minute or two to load. This is F.E.A.R. So while it's reading; there's this like a little image almost of the disc; it's pretty cool. It shows up on the dashboard here. The hard drive's located over here. In the front you have two spots for memory cards and a button for synching. The power button if this ever turns red you're in trouble. There's two USB ports here for wired controllers and Xbox kits. It outputs in HD all the way to 1080p. There aren't very many 1080p games but it's supported. This version has HD video support and digital audio out. It's pretty good. The one problem is this enormous brick that takes up most of the space in your home. It's the power brick for the console; the power supply that plugs into the wall and the console. It's like half of the size of Saturn which is pretty big for a power supply. So the games they all look pretty good. It's infinitely better than for example the Nintendo Wii (which is terrible). It's even now still better than the PlayStation 3. I'd say this is the best option for a next gen system right now. But as time goes by we'll see what PlayStation 3 can do. So yeah I recommend that for just $350 you go pro and you buy an Xbox 360. You don't need to get Xbox Live Gold; it depends on what type of gamer you are. I don't really play a lot of online games. So I'm just sticking with Xbox Live Silver which allows you full access to Xbox Live but no online play with friends. The 20-gigabyte hard drive is not very big so you have to be pretty creative when you're storing things on it. You can't really keep very many downloads for too long because it will take a lot of space. All in all it's a really great next generation system and I highly recommend it. So go out and pick up the Xbox 360 today. Thanks for watching
